W E A R I N G / Wearing Maison Martin Margiela for SHOWstudio





dress, shoes, nosepiece, bag: Maison Martin Margiela
images from my SHOWstudio tumblr curation

Can you imagine an email popping up on your phone from 'Nick Knight'. I couldn't. I thought it was most probably a news message from SHOWstudio, or someone who happens to have the same name.
But part of me secretly hoped that it was indeed the man himself acknowledging my existence. So although opening that email took a few seconds it felt like several minutes.
It was indeed Nick Knight himself, sending me an incredibly kind email introducing himself and SHOWstudio saying 'I do hope you don't mind me approaching out of the blue like this'
and asking me if I would like to curate the SHOWstudio tumblr for one week. I started writing a crazy fan love letter back but stopped myself, waited for the next morning to calm down and respond like a normal human being.

Now time is finally here that I am taking over the tumblr, usually every first week of the month a different person takes over the SHOWstudio tumblr to 'curate' this digital space.
Thanks to Nick, who asked me all the right questions I came up with the concept to make a gradient out of images and make the SHOWstudio tumblr shift from black to white throughout the week.
With the incredible help of Agata Belcen, fashion editor at AnOther magazine and stylist at Dazed & Confused, I got access to the clothes that ironically I usually only see on style.com and tumblr.
They will be classified by color and Romeo and I will shoot them in a very strict, uniform way. There will also be a couple of DIYs incorporated in the fade.
These are a few images from yesterday, the darkest day. It is by far one of the most fun projects I have ever done.
Hope you will follow and enjoy my project for SHOWstudio as the images fade to white until the end of this week. > Click Click Click!

I remember reading a fairy tale story a few years ago about recently graduated artist Rei Nadal, who received a message from Nick Knight in her tumblr inbox, asking is she wanted to do a project for SHOWstudio. I thought it was such a great collaboration between such a legendary photographer and a girl who puts her work on Tumblr. But at the same time I felt extremely envious of Rei. The funny thing is that Rei Nadal was the one to show my blog to Nick Knight. Thank you Rei!

This collab is amazing! I'ts nice to hear that companies like Showstudio are very open to things like this. And your concept is so cool too! Makes the viewer really look forward to future posts.

Wow, such a great news! You certainly deserve the attention of all the high fashion VIPs out there - you do belong with them! :) All the photos (here and on tumblr) look great! I love the black dress! And fading colors from black to white is a brilliant concept! Isn't it what happened to your wardrobe over a more extended period of time? ;) Keep us posted!

I'm loving your SHOWstudio curation thus far - I remember pouncing onto the tumblr on the morning of April 1, only to remember that time differences meant it wouldn't be online for hours. So very jealous of your Margiela ensemble - congratulations on such an awesome opportunity!

Shug Avery said...

Super collaboration ! I didn't know Nick Knight but now I will for sure !

I particularly appreciated the last picture because it is very graphic, architectural, it is almost like a painting. I always appreciate passing by your blog because I don't consider it a mere outfit blog because you have a real aesthetic, a lifestyle and we can feel it when seeing how you are dressed, in your DIY, pictures, and when you are keen to show us a little bit of your home.

You inspire me so much that I even started sewing my own clothes, even for me and my daughter.

OMG IVANIA, it's finally here, I'm soooo excited for it! And love this huge black margiela dress, I only got one word to describe it "Breathtaking". Love the generous fabric used as its materiality, stunning! I would go cray too if I saw Nick emailing me, lol. So surreal and all this is well deserved!

I just looked through what you did for SS's tumblr and omg I love it!! It's so you and a new you! An evolved you! It's minimal, reduced, yet a modern edge was added to it. I even like the one shot with just the color code as a photo. And the ones with a piece of moon rock -esque shot juxtaposed with you curled up in the black margiela dress on the steps. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

يعتبر الحجاب الحاجز حاجزاً عضلياً يفصل ما بين الصدر والبطن
لكن في بعض الأحيان يحدث فتق في هذا الحاجز، بحيث يحرك أحد الأعضاء الموجودة بالبطن إلى أعلى من خلال فتحة موجود بالحجاب نفسه. وذلك بسبب وجود عيب خلقي أثناء تكوين الجنين أو بسبب التعرض لإصابة حادة أو اختراق في المنطقة وفي هذه الحالة يحتاج المريض الي عملية فتق الحجاب الحاجز بالمنظار
